Kaizer Chiefs have diverted their attention to Toronto FC striker Cassius Mialula, who is currently enjoying a stellar loan spell at Wydad Athletic, contributing nine goals and assists this season.
Getting a deal over the line will take some doing amid Wydad Athletic and European interest.
“For Wydad it will depend on whether coach Rulani Mokwena is still there or if whoever takes over still needs him,” a source told SoccerLaduma.
“Then there is interest from Europe. So, Chiefs have to outbid all the other interest if they are to have a chance of signing him. But it’s true they have shown interest in Mailula.”
Another source confirmed Kaizer Chiefs’ intent, mentioning that, “Chiefs have enquired about him but you know he is a Toronto FC player, and they are the ones to make the final decision.
“Are they loaning him out again or can Chiefs buy him from them? But as for Chiefs being interested in him that’s true and they are ready to fight for his signature.”
Gallants mishap
Kaizer Chiefs’ quest for MTN8 Cup qualification suffered a major blow following their defeat to Gallants last Saturday, keeping the Soweto giants level on points with eighth-placed Chippa United, who have a six-goal and two-game advantage.
A tenth-minute Makabi Lilepo goal had the hosts on track for a crucial victory, which ultimately came undone by Daniel Msendami’s go-ahead goal with twenty minutes left on the clock.
